Originally, he, the dignified Prince, had been a dominant figure in the capital city, but now he found himself in a situation where anyone could trample on him.
Even his mother, who was of considerable age, was implicated alongside him and the Crown Prince in the palace, squeezed out by the heedless young vixens.
As her son, he was helpless, knowing that some people were just waiting for him to lose patience and give them something to hold against him. Thus, no matter how tough the days were, he still had to keep a low profile.
Growing up always pampered, the Prince tasted frustration for the first time in his life.
What was he scolded for today?
Oh, it was because of the provisions.
The Ministry of Revenue couldn't allocate the provisions, yet the blame fell on him. Sikong Mo, a Prince himself, had personally come to the capital city for the provisions, but the Ministry of Revenue failed to deliver, claiming he had previously depleted their stock during his campaign!
